"The Malayan Jaffna Tamil community was intensely loyal to the British Crown and when World War I started Ganapathypillai was amongst those who contributed liberally to the British War Fund. A Committee was also elected to start collecting funds to pay for the cost of a British Fighter Plane. Dr E T McIntyre was elected Chairman and Ganapathypillai was prominent amongst the fund-raisers in Taiping.
When the Committee informed the British Government of their intentions, the Government replied that they were aware of the Malayan Jaffna Tamil community’s limited resources and tactfully suggested that they may wish to consider the cheaper alternative of funding the cost of an observation plane. The Committee indignantly replied that they would somehow or the other raise the cost of a fighter plane so as to maximize the damage that could be inflicted on the Germans!
Within a few months the cost of a fighter plane (2250 Pounds) was collected and remitted to the British Government in London with the request that the plane be named “Jaffna”. Bonar Law, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, wrote back to the Jaffna Tamils thanking them for their patriotic spirit in raising the cost of a fighter plane out of their comparatively small resources.
A few months after "The Jaffna" entered war service, a Squadron of FE2Bs of the same type of plane as The Jaffna, flying for No. 25 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps (the forerunner of the RAF) encountered the Fokker Eindekker piloted by the German Ace, Max Immelmann who had already downed at least 17 British planes. Max's plane was shot down in the encounter and he lost his life. The Jaffna may well have been in this squadron.”

Another reason this mode feels so sleek is the very small vertical profile. My other AlterCores are more bulky in the legs and arms which makes jet mode less streamlined. Toothpick Legs here solves that issue... sacrificing some stability.

This is where the railgun comes in hand as the hip block jutted down from the cockpit fuselage and I needed a way to smooth that out. So I opted to shove a big gun there instead!
This is Euro Fighter at Leuchars and is by far the most advance fighter jet to date, advancing all the time.
I have a very small hand in working on part of the radar and it's amazing to see it fly.
It's loud and very maneuverable to do some impressive stunts. They were based at Leuchars until the RAF move out.
